Dang, and I was thinking Intel dealt the death blow to AMD:
I'd rather hope not: even though I prefer Intel's current range of CPUs, a lack of competition could quickly see development stagnate. Best not to be too partisan about it; I'll be happy to use whatever's the best available at the time rather than who it's made by. And if some of the "DRM by design" claims about Sandy Bridge aren't just pure hysteria, I'm positively glad to have alternatives.
ARM's potential incursion into traditional PC territory could also prove quite interesting as another alternative, provided Microsoft's support for non-Intel instruction sets doesn't go the same way as it did with DEC et al.
